I've Fallen Off the Blog...and I cant' get up!

Wow, I've noticed I suck at updating?

Is it a sign?

Am I done with this damn thing?

Twitter more entertaining for me?

Not sure, but I guess we will see what develops in the next few days, weeks, months!

CX is going on right now...but I'm not participating in the manner in which I had planned. Not that I'm not fired up for it. Planned for it. Got some secret weapons built up for it. Oh yes, that would be one reason this week has been a tough one to get on the computer.

Of note a couple of us have been rantin about the local CX scene. I don't understand, but I'm not a promoter, let alone a racer this season, so why should I give a shit. Well, cycling is about development. You can't developman if the top three beat the nearest competitor by 3-4minutes. Not only that, the top three were separated by more than a minute a piece.

What kind of ding dong battle is that?

Of interesting note: A regional official of USAC called out our mwi teammate Roscoe at Jingle Cross last year AT THE START LINE demanding a letter of intent for upgrading. Right before Nationals, forcing the boy up due to his domination at ONE race. Not at his local racing scene mind you which is Wisco, but in Iowa he shamed him for upgrade. ( I bet Roscoe gets the shame notice this year!)

Why isn't our officials doing this here?

I understand free series racing if your in the top three cat. But in the same category? WTF? IF your in the top three one year, race for FREE in the SAME CATEGORY THE NEXT! What is the logic behind such a reward? Isn't that sandbaggin or teabaggin? just sayin.

Phuck the bug! I wish I was here this weekend...GOOD LUCK MWI!

Sudafed Blur

Hours of watching CX video and live feed from all over the world caused me to get into the Superfan spirit of things. Also considering the lingering cold from hell is still hanging on.
GVA crashlights:

Look out for the newest and greatest Superfan noise maker:(if near I recommend ear plugs)

Stuff #3
I'm sick. I'm not happy with it. My CX season is now not turning out how I had planned. BIG SUCK!! New kits, rigs, tires, the whole chit and capoodle. Now for nada. Runny nose, cough perfect symptoms for not training. I've done this before, train while having slight symptoms to only have them to blow into full fledge near death feeling cold. Reading results, looking at pictures, watching the videos makes it worse. Becoming very crusty.

Other Stuff
Ok, slow on the draw but one of our sponsors hit the deck last week. That sucks, but I know she is a tough cookie, she is also Irish so I know she has a thick melon. Get well Mo! BTW, I would recommend you and Rosco come down so I can take you on some really fine roads to build your riding skills. I've been known to show some wicked bike handling bike skillz! YO!

mwi crew is heading up to Ohio 3. Let's just say I expect alot out of my boys heading up that way! Big race, Bigger results. Wish the man would have let me go with you guys. I make a really good pit bitch!
I guess this means you guys won't hear anymore smack talk from me for the season since I'm now racing for the fun of it!

Phuck that! I can't or won't give you guys any reprieve! It's still on..it will be a real ding dong battle.
Oh yea, Half Lap and I are tied.
JJ, well he keeps skipping his date with fate!
I almost forgot my newest buddy DunnsBerry! !(editors note: DunnsBerry is like a pro so I don't race in a class like his!)
